That's surprising. I thought, from the preso at IDF, that AMT was off-by-default. I'm not thrilled with the on-by-default behavior, but if that is the case, then there is nothing we can do about it for non-Sun branded systems. For *Sun branded* systems, we should configure this off by default, either in the factory or as part of our default BIOS image. -- Garrett
